This is truly an amazing number, especially from reading the text below, the average daily is 100 million .. which is a lot in and of itself.



I sat in a session at SXSW last year, with the engineers of Facebook, Reddit, and some other companies talking about how they have designed and built out their infrastructure. It was fascinating.

Facebook Users Uploaded A Record 750 Million Photos Over New Year’s

It doesn’t come as a huge surprise, but it’s still staggering to think about: over the New Year’s weekend, Facebook saw 750 million photo uploads from its users. That’s a lot of celebrating, and it sets a new Facebook record.
